Assignment: Hooke’s Law Investigation (PLEASE ANSWER SOON OR IM IN TROUBLE)
Purpose: The objective of this lab is to determine if Hooke’s law is a valid law to apply to a rubber band, and if it is, to determine the elastic constant of that rubber band.
Safety: Remember that the rubber band will rebound when the force is taken away. Be careful not to let it or the masses go flying!

Graph of Hanging Mass vs. Distance Stretched:
Finding the slope:
1. Find two data points that are on the line of best fit. Record them here.
Trial #
Hanging mass (g)
Distance stretched (cm)
2. Slope equals (change on vertical axis) / (change on horizontal axis). Determine the change in the
Vertical axis (hanging mass) :
Horizontal axis (distance stretched):
3. Calculate the slope:
Questions
1. Did the data look pretty close to linear? Write a statement of conclusion about the rubber band and Hooke’s law. (Refer to the purpose statement at the beginning of the lab assignment.)
2. Hooke’s law is a linear relationship, which means it has an equation that looks like y=mx. In the general equation m stands for “slope.” Look at Hooke’s law (Fspring= k(Δx)). Which letter is in the same place in the equation as m was in the general equation? So what does the slope of the graph find?

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
